Today, Minister Piccini announced an additional $14 million to help further protect natural areas, representing the single largest fund to secure private land for conservation in Ontario.
The funding will help partner organizations such as the Nature Conservancy of Canada and the Ontario Land Trust Alliance secure, restore and manage new protected wetlands, grasslands and forest areas and open additional natural spaces for Ontarians to enjoy.
For every dollar of provincial funding provided through the Greenlands Conservation program, Nature Conservancy of Canada and the Ontario Land Trust Alliance have matched it with approximately $5 from other conservation partners, including individual donors, foundations, and other levels of government.
